Look at the track record of past US interventions. In hindsight, they almost never "beneficial for the greater good". Things turn to chaos quickly.

I would say that the post-WWII meddling in Europe and in a few Asian countries turned up overall positive, and produced strong US Allies.

It was also done with carrots, not sticks.

Can't really say the same for what happened in the rest of the world.
